Correct, it was in the past. BH was so excited to tell it too. I was shocked that Julie has never been been killed off. I went to the event in LA. They said the whole ALice/Africa thing is dropped. They taped scenes that aired during the cliffhanger and SSH taped additional scenes after the cliffhanger, but that's it. Oh, I remembered that the DAYS book that's coming out is a healthy lifestyle book with the "younger" cast. Edited by Liz<3Days, Jul 26 2012, 08:07 PM.

BO willing leaving Hope for any signifcant amount of time is not believable. Bo leaving his daughter, mother, sister, etc, is a crazy idea. The "walkabout" idea has just been used and killing him off doesn't seem warranted. I will not buy into BO going crazy to set EJ up for killing Steffy, or even consider the thought he did the deed himself. Bo sent to prison? Maybe hel covers for Hope and goes to prison to do the time. This would elimate any death or walkabout ideas. Do you go to prison for attempted murder? We all hear Steffy never died, so PR/BO, probably are just getting a rest, until the SL can be told. Killing off either or both PR and MA is just insane. It will not happen. |

Thanks for the scoop! It's such a shame that the show doesn't use them more. |

I still don't know how they could have Hope around but Bo isn't "dead". I wonder if maybe he gets a "call" from Shawn and Bo goes out to help him wherever Shelle supposedly are. That could make some sense why Hope is around and Bo. Guess they could say that Hope had to stay in Salem because of Ciara. It isn't the best explanation, but could work. My concern is that Bo will end up like Uncle Mickey. Everytime we see Hope she will have some excuse that Bo is at the station or something and that is why he isn't around. |

If he leaves to be with a kid, my money's on Chelsea. Then there's no reason for Hope to go, really, and there's a way to create tension between Bo/Hope if he abandons Ciara/Hope to go off and be with the kid he has with another woman. |

That's a good idea cause if Peter chooses not to return then Hope could be angry and it could set up a romance for Hope. If Bo has gone off to take care of Shawn it would be weird for Hope to be romantic with anyone else. We'll see. My money is on Peter returning. Not straight away, but I don't doubt he'll be back. |

I hope this is just a break until these writers can come up with something for Bo. I just cannot imagine Salem without Bo Brady. I will never understand why soaps think the Vets should be totally pushed aside Edited by luvmysoaps, Jul 27 2012, 06:06 AM.

I could actually buy the whole Chelsea thing as a reason for Bo to leave. He has already (and several times, in fact) ran off to help Chelsea, even when Hope didn't like it. So that wouldn't be unusual. It would be a good reason for Hope to stay in Salem (cuz, if he left to help Shawn with something, I would wonder why Hope wouldn't go with him to help her son as well). And like you guys said, if Bo stayed for too long, it could cause a complete break up between Bope, because Hope would hate Bo being with Chelsea for so long and open up Hope for something new. I could buy that. But the only thing is, wouldn't Billie go and aid Chelsea with whatever's going on as well? And this way, Billie would stick around in Salem as well... oh well... |

Then that also opens the door for Billie to leave WITH Bo.....we know LR was still on set as far back as a few weeks ago....so IMHO if they are going to do that, maybe Chelsea is gravely ill or has suffered an accident and Billie and Bo rush to her aid....this opens up some tension for Hope as she is in Salem while Bo and Billie are together and bonding over whatever might be happening to Chelsea. |

On this show Vets don't "pass the torch" to the younger set. TPTB yank the torch out of the Vets hands, beat them over the head with it, and then TPTB step over the Vets limp bodies as THEY pass the torch off! But good luck to Peter in what he does next! |

I would watch a show about well-developed Will, Abby, Nick, Sonny ... Phillip, Stephanie, hell even Shawn at this point. But Rafe, EJ and Daniel are not going to work for me as the leading men of Days. Sorry, not going to happen. Unfortunately that's exactly who Peter is passing off the torch to. Bleh. Even all that aside I'll miss Peter. Yes I'm sure there was a bit of holding out and trying to use his popularity to get him the deal he wanted going on, but overall he's an asset to the show and a beloved figure on my TV screen. It's a sign of the times, I guess. |

Frankly I always thought Arianna was far and away the best Hernandez. Salem will need a new family to keep the incest at bay, but the Hernandezes and the Jonases aren't keepers. Days always has this uncanny knack for keeping what is forced and ditching what organically sparks. |

Logically, yes, Billie would go with him. But this is Days. They could throw in a scene between Bo/Billie where Billie says she has to stay for some bullshit reason (she's working on a case or whatever). Maybe Billie could even ask Bo to be the one to go, causing tension between he and Hope 'cause it's like Bo doing Billie's bidding. |

I would say GG, AS and JS are quite a bit younger than PR who is 57. Galen is 41, AS is 35 and JS is 33. That is quite a difference. That being said, age doesn't need to be a factor as long as the writing and good stories are there. Drake is about the same age as PR, but is apparently willing to accept a backburner storyline; PR wasn't. I will miss Bo and PR, but honestly the writing for the character hasn't been there for quite awhile. |

As much as I love the 80's characters, I think the torch-passing should have started in earnest about a decade ago. |

with Eileen returning as Kristen, i don't think Drake is being put on the backburner. |

Totally agree. I think it might have happened if they'd been more willing to recast characters like Chloe, Phillip or Chelsea when the actors left. And even though I hated them when they were initially SORASed, bouncing backwards from the Shawn/Belle bunch to Sami and her men was a huge mistake, imho. As it is, the main source of continuity are characters who have been super-popular since the 80s (plus Sami). Makes it harder to let them go, imho. There's no going back though. They just need to commit to the characters of Will, Abby, and Chad, imho. Plus Gabi, probably. I also tend to think they should have recast Melanie. (Alternatively, accept that the show is dying and give us one fantastic last year with the older crew.) And yeah, it's awkward to pass the torch to characters who are pretty close to moving into that generation. They haven't really aged Hope up that much, and it feels like Sami's about to run into her, age-wise. |
